The issue when you have attended one or more WWDCs is that some sessions are just repeating what had been said the previous year.

If an interested party may be permitted a comment (and a plug), I would like to say that one important function of WWDC is to disseminate information about new APIs, for which formal documentation may be somewhat scant. This year there is much that is new, e.g. sessions 404 et seq.

Some of what Doug was referring to in the 400's that is obviously new this year

404 - Internet Technologies: Safari Overview
407 - Internet Technologies: Understanding Safari Technology and Web Standards
420 - Internet Technologies: Advanced Foundation URL APIs
424 - Internet Technologies: Advanced WebKit APIs

In my own session, 421, I can say that although the title and description sound rather like last year's, the talk will be almost entirely new--both because I will be discussing new APIs, and because I will be covering different aspects of the Cocoa text system.

It'd be no fun to give the same talk multiple years anyways.

If there is some new Apple technology that you would like to learn about, or even one that is simply new to you, then WWDC is an opportunity to hear it explicated by its developers. Different people have different styles of learning, however, and it is always open to you to use written materials, the WWDC DVDs, mailing lists, etc. instead.

If you can't attend and if you feel an area isn't covered well enough by docs, file bugs, that's the best way to communicate that.
